How to install DLCs to Steam version w/multiple HDs

[surfcandy]

I have the Steam version but when I try to install the Real Color addons it doesn't seem to be working. The DLC points to a folder that does not exist in the game and when I direct it to a different HD where I have the Steam version installed the folder the DLC wants is not there. Then I say yes to creating it. I install the DLC but don't get any "known" airliners in KPHX just fictional what seems like the default ones when I load the game.

Yep this happens every time someone new joins the game. The installers are not very intuitive, however the RC and RT are better than the feelthere installer.

First of all do you have Real Traffic?

Without this nothing else will work anyhow

Yes

 I get the voice telling me certain airlines like United waiting..etc. but all the aircraft in the parking gates are just all white in color no airliner colors or markings.

OK Cool, so the you need to create a folder called texture packs as below

Then inside put your RC files

When i first set up i ran the installer to the desktop then copied the files over. Once you have the texturepack folder, all other RC packs should install there no problem 🤞

Thank You looks like it's working. Now I have to find that post about removing the "blurry" look.

If it is what I think it is, go to settings/advanced graphics and turn off "Depth of Field"

Does this game benefit from being on a solid state drive?

Not really.  I mean larger airports with lots of traffic may load a little faster but most of the loading is the AI crunching stuff in the CPU vs HDD to memory.  It will load a bit faster but its not a massive difference.
